MVC is an overused phrase. What you’re describing is PMVC or MVP.

My MVC definition is closer to what Rama suggested. Of course, MVC must be adapted to different code environments (MVC for desktop development is very different than for the web), but I typically suggest the following to those new to MVC:

Model – Abstracts away your external resources or concepts into a class which acts as an API. Think “model” literally

View – The template or UI later that users view.

Controller – This is the glue between the model and view. It makes calls to models, manipulates the responses, and pushes data ready for rendering out to the view.

– A part to handle the application logic (the model)
Typically model represents that Data Model rather than application logic.
Example: In Java EE world, Session beans handle application logic – session beans are not considered as Model.
